Ring road: Longoverdue or hugewaste of money?

Councillors representing Calgary’s inner city squared off with councillors from the suburbs Wednesday over whether the southwest leg of the ring road is long over-due or an outdated waste of $5 billion.

Coun. Gian-Carlo Carra said the provincial govern-ment would be smarter to direct that kind of money to-ward public transit, noting the money would be enough to build the much-vaunted but still unfunded “Green Line” of the LRT, running from north-central Calgary all the way down to the deep southeast.

“It breaks my heart that we’re not having a real, pub-lic conversation about put-ting it into building transit projects,” Carra said of the provincial funds.

Coun. Druh Farrell voiced similar concerns and de-

scribed the southwest ring road as a project that might have made more sense 50 years ago when it was dreamed up, but one that Calgary has since outgrown.

“We’ve progressed as a city,” she said. “And this doesn’t fit.”

Farrell also noted how the project, with $133 mil-lion in associated costs the city must bear for on-ramps and connector routes, has seen little debate compared to the months of discussion over the Centre City Cycle Track Network, which is to cost less than $10 million.

Coun. Peter Demong, however, described that comparison as apples-to-or-anges and “somewhat ludi-crous.”

“Maybe we should just forget about highways and transport all our goods and products by bicycles,” he said.

Coun. Ward Sutherland

also took issue with Far-rell’s comparison, per-user, of the ring-road cost versus the cycle-track cost, saying that’s “not an intelligent way to address it.”

Completing the ring road would reduce congestion as well as wear and tear on countless other roads, Suth-erland noted.

“It’s like the LRT,” he said. “The LRT is extremely costly and, if you go by per-person, we’d never build the LRT. But it has a lot of bene-fit to it.”

Transportation general manager Mac Logan said the effects of a completed ring road around Calgary would be felt across the city’s en-tire road network.

“The ring road does re-duce congestion in the in-ner city,” he said. “It does change the downstream traffic patterns to our bene-fit.”

Regardless of what coun-cil thinks of the ring road at this stage, Logan added, it’s unlikely to change the prov-incial government’s plan for the project.

“I think the province is moving ahead regardless of what our position is,” he said. “So we have to decide what we need to do to make sure Calgarians can access that ring road.”

War of words. Councillors square off over $5-billion project, with sharp urban, suburban divide

Emergency responders had to wear haz-mat suits to enter the home on Addison Drive S.E. while rescuing 33 dogs that were inside the house, which has sincebeen deemed unfi t for habitation. KATIE TURNER/FOR METRO

Dogs found in Acadia not registered with city

None of the 33 dogs seized from an Acadia home Tuesday had been registered with the city, according to animal and bylaw services.

The dogs’ owner, identified by a neighbour as Bev Creed, had licensed 17 dogs since 1996, according to a bylaw spokesperson, but the city did not have record of any of the

animals currently under her care.

Former neighbour Karl Wiebe said he lived next door to the home from 2000 to 2006 and during that time, he lodged several complaints with animal and bylaw servi-ces.

“When I saw the picture and it was my neighbour’s old house, I went, ‘You got to be kidding me,’” he said. “I knew about this thing a decade ago.”

Wiebe said at the time there were only 11 dogs living next door and he never saw any obvious signs of abuse, but added he’s frustrated that the situation was able to escalate.

“I just felt like this was go-ing to turn into something bad,” he said. “I’m not sur-

prised at all.”Animal and bylaw servi-

ces operations manager Alvin Murray said over the six-year period that Wiebe lived at the home, they received seven complaints, all related to bark-ing.

“Each of those events, the seven complaints, the animals at that time were properly li-censed,” explained Murray.

Any concerns about the welfare of the animals would have been directed to the Cal-gary Humane Society, though manager of animal cruelty investigations Brad Nichols said he couldn’t comment on whether the owner was known to CHS previously.

“I can say that we’re not in the business of leaving ani-mals in distress so if we had been involved, we certainly didn’t see anything like this,” he said.

Nichols said the health of the dogs is poor overall and added they are currently re-ceiving veterinary care.

33 dogs seized. Humane Society says investigation early, but charges likely

Possible penalties

Nichols said Creed could be facing a maximum fi ne of $20,000 per count and up to a lifetime prohibition on owning animals.

• “Generally speaking, this is the type of off ence that would garner prosecution,” he said.

Calgary Transit

Delay for West Campus project? Calgary Transit now figures it will need additional electricity to run an LRT net-work full of four-car trains and wants to delay planned transportation improve-ments near the university in order to pay for more power substations instead.

“It’s really a full upgrade to provide more horse-power to those trains that are carrying more and more people,” transit director Doug Morgan told members of city council Wednesday. “We’re going to need more investment than we origin-ally thought.”

The city has no money currently budgeted for those power upgrades, however, which Morgan said would involve adding 10 more substations along two LRT lines.

As a result, city staff pro-posed putting off the West Campus Mobility Project, described as a “medium pri-ority” upgrade to transpor-tation infrastructure around the University of Calgary, Foothills Hospital and Al-berta Children’s Hospital.

Coun. Ward Sutherland said he had “a bone of con-tention” with that proposal, particularly because “there was no consultation done with anybody, including myself.” The city’s transpor-tation and transit commit-tee endorsed the delay 6-4, however, with Sutherland along with Couns. Sean Chu, Joe Magliocca and Shane Keating opposed.

If council as a whole approves the delay, trans-portation planner Eric MacNaughton said moving forward on the West Cam-pus project would be “de-pendent on coming up with a new source of revenue.” ROBSON FLETCHER/METRO

Mayor Naheed Nenshi is seen at the Calgary police Westwinds Campus, where he learned more Wednesday aboutthe cybercrime support team, which has been busy since its launch last year. Katie turner/for Metro

Cops’ cybercrime team keeping busy

It was a robust inaugural year for the Calgary Police Service’s cybercrime support team, and the number of files is likely to grow as Internet-related crimes increase in fre-quency.

The team was launched in January 2013 in response to the growing need for on-line investigative support for cases ranging from cyber-bullying and sexting to fraud and even homicide.

Staff Sgt. Ryan Jepson of the criminal operations sup-port section said in 2013 the

cybercrime team assisted in 205 investigations, and it has already worked on 137 files in 2014.

“We anticipate we’ll be getting close to 300 files by the end of the year,” he said.

Cases have involved a June 2013 email threatening a machine-gun attack at the Calgary Stampede, which re-sulted in 25 Criminal Code

charges, as well as a threaten-ing voice message sent to a 13-year-old girl from a Grade 6 student.

Jepson said with the on-line world constantly evolv-ing, the need for the cyber-crime support team will likely continue to grow.

“We recognize the need to respond to criminals not only doing traditional crime, but moving that crime on to the Internet.”

Mayor Naheed Nenshi, an avid social-media user himself, stopped by the CPS Westwinds Campus Wednes-day to learn more about what the cybercrime support team does day-to-day.

“One of the most interest-ing things I learned today is the prevalence of video.... There’s a lot of witness-gener-ated video, cellphone videos and such,” he said. “Citizens are certainly playing a differ-ent role in crime prevention as well as in dealing with the aftermaths of crime.”

CPS. Special online investigations unit has played a role in over 300 cases since its launch last year

Calgary plans to undertake a $20-million redevelopment between Chinook Centre and the Chinook LRT station in the next two years, including a new pedestrian bridge over Macleod Trail.

The project would include streetscape enhancements along 61 Avenue South and the completion of the transit plaza outside the LRT station, creat-ing a “much more pedestrian friendly environment,” accord-ing to transportation planner Eric MacNaughton.

“Sixty-first Avenue is the heaviest pedestrian corridor in the city outside the down-town,” MacNaughton told the city’s transportation and tran-sit committee Wednesday. “It’s almost two million people a year.”

The $20-milllion is just the city’s share of the price tag, MacNaughton added. He said the project is being cost-shared with Chinook Centre.

Last fall, Calgary finished an $18-million rebuild of the Chinook LRT station, after

demolishing the old building completely and replacing the indoor, above-grade crossing with an at-grade crossing which city staff said would improve pedestrian flow at the busy transit hub.

As part of the new project, the pedestrian enhancements would run westward from the LRT station along 61 Avenue to Chinook Centre.

The project timeline is set for 2015 to 2016. Robson FletcheR/metRo

Province to snub Russia over Ukraine The Alberta government is pulling out of next month’s World Petroleum Congress in Moscow to protest Rus-sia’s actions in Ukraine.

Premier Dave Hancock says it’s important to show Alberta stands with the federal government in con-demning Russia’s annexa-tion of sovereign Ukraine territory. Intergovernmental Relations Minister Cal Dal-las estimates the move will cost the government about $100,000. the canadian pRess

RCMP Insp. Gibson Glavin speaks to reporters in Calgary about the case on Wednesday afternoon. Trina Meisel, inset, was arrested in B.C. a short time after anAmber Alert was issued, and now faces abduction charges. robSon fletcher/Metro; inSet: contributed

Police safely apprehended two Alberta girls in British Colum-bia’s Lower Mainland Wednes-day and arrested their mother, who now faces abduction char-ges after allegedly absconding with the children despite not having legal custody of them.

Mounties in Boston Bar,

B.C., located all three family members late in the afternoon after issuing an Amber Alert in both Alberta and B.C. earlier in the day.

Talisha Meisel, 12, and Taya Meisel, 6, were both safely taken into police custody and their mother, Trina Meisel, 48, was arrested, according to the RCMP. The girls had been mis-sing since Monday, but police only issued the Amber Alert on Wednesday because new infor-mation came to light that gave investigators the necessary cri-teria to trigger the urgent, inter-

provincial appeal to the public.“What changed was, this

morning, information did come to the investigators’ attention that led them to believe that the children could be at risk of serious bodily harm or death,” RCMP Insp. Gibson Glavin said Wednesday.

In a statement, Mounties in B.C. said they were able to lo-cate the mother and two girls “with the assistance of public tips and information.”

Police believe the girls may have snuck out of their school on Monday in Brandt,

Alta., near Vulcan, to join their mother, who is a non-custodial parent. She lost custody of the children in a court decision earlier this year, RCMP Insp. Tony Hamori said, something that investigators believed was a source of great “frustration” and may lead her to “very er-ratic” behaviour.

The two girls are now safe with investigators, according to RCMP in B.C., who are working with that province’s Ministry of Children and Family Develop-ment to figure out next steps.Robson FletcheR/metRo

T:8.57”Prentice campcovertly pitches Wildrose-PC merger: Smith

Alberta Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith accused Jim Prentice Wednesday of try-ing to eliminate her party as a threat before he even officially enters the race to become premier.

Smith says a member of Prentice’s inner circle ap-proached someone on her team pitching a merger should Prentice win the Progressive Conservative leadership contest.

She said her answer was a categorical no.

She also said the idea makes Prentice, the per-ceived front-runner in the Tory race, look weak.

“Jim Prentice is taking entitlement to a whole new level,” said Smith.

“If he wants to become premier, he should face the challenge, and he’s going to face a tough challenge from the Wildrose in the next election.”

Smith refused to identify the person in the Prentice

camp who pitched the idea.Prentice, 57, is expected

in the coming days to for-mally announce he will vie to replace former premier Alison Redford.

The race officially begins Thursday and right now it is shaping up as a two-candidate contest between Prentice and Calgary MLA Ric McIver.

McIver and another po-tential candidate, Jobs Min-ister Thomas Lukaszuk, have said they’ve had pres-sure to leave the race, but didn’t say it was coming directly from the Prentice camp.

Patricia Misutka, Edmon-ton campaign chairwoman for Prentice, said that no one from his team has been urging any candidates to quit and no one has been pitching a merger.

“Nobody from (Prentice’s) campaign has approached or spoken to Danielle Smith or anybody related to her,” said Misutka.

“It’s a pretty irrespon-sible thing for (Smith) to cast a rumour like this about without any verifica-tion or any ability to do any-thing except to cause mis-chief.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

2 become 1? A union may be in the cardsAlbertans’ driver’s licences and health cards could be-come one secure card under plans Service Alberta Minister Doug Griffiths hopes to bring forward this fall.

Griffiths floated the idea this week and said he hoped to detail the proposal later this year. He said the model would follow what’s happen-ing in British Columbia.

He said the details have to be worked out, but the health

and driving information could be merged into a card that would work more like a credit card, better protecting the in-formation.

“Your credit card doesn’t have any information on it. It’s an access point,” he said.

Griffiths said a more se-cure health card would save administration costs and re-duce fraud.

“We know that there are people who aren’t Albertans

Albertans would embrace the technology Griffiths be-lieves, because it would help them secure their identity.

“The most valuable prop-erty anybody has is their own identification, so top of mind is to make sure we‘re able to secure people’s identity,” he said.

Darrell Evans, with the

Canadian Identity Theft Pre-vention Association, said pull-ing the information together raises serious concerns.

“We don’t want the gov-ernment to have a massive central file on people,” he said. He said a big centralized data system could also be a major problem.

“The bigger and more com-plicated it gets the more vul-nerable it gets.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Psych test delays murder trial. Pistorius defence implies mental illnessOscar Pistorius was ordered by a judge on Wednesday to undergo psychiatric tests, meaning that the double-amputee athlete’s murder trial will be interrupted, possibly for two months.

The decision by Judge Thokozile Masipa followed a request for a psychiatric evaluation by the chief pros-ecutor, Gerrie Nel. The pros-ecutor had said he had no option but to ask for it after an expert witness for the defence testified that Pistor-ius had an anxiety disorder since childhood that may

have influenced his judg-ment when he fatally shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steen-kamp.

He could be acquitted if it’s found that he was not criminally responsible for Steenkamp’s shooting be-cause of a mental illness. The judge said it was important to assess his state of mind because of questions raised by the prosecution that Pis-torius might argue he was not criminally responsible for the shooting because of his anxiety disorder.the associated Press

turkey counts its dead

Rows of open graves for the mine accident victims are seen in Soma, Turkey, Wednesday. At least two hundred coal miners were killed after a mine explosion. Violent protests have erupted in several Turkish cities, targeting themine’s owners and the national government. In Soma rocks were being thrown and some people were shouting that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was a “Murderer!” and a “Thief!” associated Press/dePo Photos

Anger and grief boiled over into a violent protest Wednes-day in the western Turkish town of Soma, where officials said at least 245 miners died in a coal mine explosion and fire.

Nearly 450 other miners were rescued, the mining com-pany said, but the fate of an unknown number of others remained unclear in one of the world’s deadliest mining disas-ters in decades.

Tensions were high as hun-dreds of relatives and miners jostled outside the coal mine waiting for news, countered by a heavy police presence. Rows of women wailed uncontrol-lably, men knelt sobbing and others just stared in disbelief as rescue workers removed a steady stream of bodies throughout the night and early morning.

Others shouted at Turkish

officials as they passed by.In downtown Soma, pro-

testers mostly in their teens and 20s faced off against riot police Wednesday afternoon in front of the ruling NKP party headquarters. Police had gas masks and water cannons.

Authorities say the disaster followed an explosion and fire caused by a power distribu-tion unit and the deaths were caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. Prime Minister Re-cep Tayyip Edrogan promised the tragedy would be investi-gated to its “smallest detail” and that “no negligence will be ignored.”

Erdogan discussed rescue operations with authorities, walked near the entrance of the mine and comforted two crying women. He has ap-peared less-than-sympathetic in the past, however, saying that death was part of the “pro-fession’s fate” after 30 miners died in a 2010 accident.

Mining accidents are com-mon in Turkey, which is plagued by poor safety condi-tions. the associated Press

WikiLeaker may receive gender hormone therapy In an unprecedented move, the Pentagon is try-ing to transfer convicted national security leaker Pvt. Chelsea Manning to a civilian prison so she can get treatment for her gender disorder, defence officials said.

Manning, formerly named Bradley, was convicted of sending classified documents to anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. The soldier has asked for hormone therapy and to be able to live as a woman.

Transgender people are not allowed to serve in the U.S. military and the Defence Department does not provide such treat-ment, but Manning can’t be discharged from the service while serving her 35-year prison sentence.

The former intel-ligence analyst was sen-tenced in August for six Espionage Act violations and 14 other offences.

After the conviction, Manning announced the desire to live as a woman and to be called Chelsea.the associated PressOscar Pistorius leaves court in Pretoria, South Africa.

The Supreme Court of Canada has upheld the national secur-ity certificate against terror sus-pect Mohamed Harkat, open-ing the door to the next step in

deporting him.The high court also re-

jected Harkat’s constitutional challenge of the security cer-tificate regime, unanimously ruling that the process — while not perfect — is consist-ent with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

“It’s difficult to put it in words,” Harkat’s lawyer Norm Boxall said Wednesday after the decision was released. “I can’t

think of another word to say, other than it was devastating.”

Harkat, 45, has said he could face torture if returned to his native Algeria, raising questions about how, when or even if he will be removed from Canada.

The former pizza delivery man was taken into custody in Ottawa in December 2002 on suspicion of being an al-Qaida sleeper agent. He denies any in-

volvement with terrorism.The federal government is

trying to deport the Algerian refugee on a security certificate — a seldom-used tool in immi-gration law for removing non-citizens suspected of extrem-ism or espionage.

Harkat’s lawyers argued the process was unfair because the person named in a certificate doesn’t see the full case against them. the canadian press

The former royal editor of the News of the World said Wednesday that he repeat-edly hacked the voice mails of Prince William, Prince Harry and Kate Middleton in the months before he was arrested for illegal eavesdropping in 2006.

Under cross examination at Britain’s phone hacking trial, Clive Goodman acknowledged he had listened to Middleton’s voice mails 155 times, Prince William’s 35 times and Prince Harry’s nine times.

Goodman was briefly jailed in 2007, along with private in-vestigator Glenn Mulcaire, for hacking the phones of royal aides. But Goodman said police and prosecutors never asked him if he had also targeted members of the royal family.

“I have been as open and honest about hacking as I can be, but nobody has asked me any questions about this be-fore,” said Goodman, 56.

Earlier in the trial, the jury was read transcripts of intercepted phone messages between William and Kate from the days when they were courting. She became the Duchess of Cambridge when

they married in 2011.Goodman said Kate was

first targeted in late 2005, when she was becoming “a fig-ure of increasing importance around the royal family.”

Goodman and six others are on trial over wrongdoing at Rupert Murdoch’s British tabloids. Murdoch shut down the News of the World in 2011 after evidence emerged that its staff had hacked the phones of celebrities, politicians and even a kidnapped 13-year-old girl. the assOciated press

Liberal policy

Cardinal urges Trudeau to drop abortion stanceThe Roman Catholic archbishop of Toronto is asking Justin Trudeau to reconsider his decision to bar would-be Liberal candidates who do not endorse the party policy on abortion.

Cardinal Thomas Col-lins wrote to the Liberal leader Wednesday to say he is deeply concerned about the controversy.

Collins said he under-

stands the need for party discipline, but questions whether that discipline can extend to matters of conscience.

Trudeau has said the party won’t accept new candidates who are not pro-choice on abortion, al-though sitting MPs will be allowed to run even if they oppose the practice.

“As a party, we are steadfast in our belief ... that it is not for any government to legislate what a woman chooses to do with her body, and that is the bottom line there,” Trudeau said last week.the canadian press

Tropical cyclones worldwide are moving out of the tropics and more toward the poles and generally larger popula-tions, likely because of global warming, a new study finds. Atlantic hurricanes, however, don’t follow this trend.

While other studies have looked at the strength and frequency of the storms, which are called hurricanes in North America, this is the first study that looks at where they are geographically when they peak. It found in the last 30 years, tropical cyclones, regardless of their size, are peaking 53 kilometres far-ther north each decade in the

Northern Hemisphere and 61 kilometres farther south each decade in the Southern Hemi-sphere. That means about 160 kilometres toward the more populous mid-latitudes since 1982, the starting date for the study released Wednesday by the journal Nature.

“The storms en masse are migrating out of the trop-ics,” said study lead author James Kossin of the National Climatic Data Center and the University of Wisconsin.

Kossin and colleagues say the changes start with man-made global warming, which alters air circulation from the tropics to just farther north and south.

In the tropics, those chan-ges increase upper atmos-phere wind shifts called shear that weaken cyclone develop-ment. At higher latitudes the changes decrease the storm-decapitating shear, making those areas more favourable for storm intensification.

“The tropics are becom-ing less hospitable” for these storms, Kossin said.

Past storm studies have been criticized because data doesn’t go back many years. But Kossin, his colleagues and outside scientists say that by looking at where geographic-ally storms hit their peak this study avoids problems with haphazard measurements and thus can make a strong-er connection to climate change.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Not in the Atlantic region. Storms drift northward only 6.5 km a decade, which just could be random, researcher says

Japan region

In the region where Japan tracks cyclones, they are peaking 68 kilometres farther north each decade. That means cyclones that used to hit their strongest around the same latitude as the northern Philippines are now peaking closer to Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shang-hai, Japan and South Korea.

Ukraine’s government launched talks Wednesday on decentralizing power as part of a European-backed peace plan but didn’t invite its main foes,

the pro-Russia insurgents who have declared independence in the east.

That deliberate oversight left it unclear whether the ne-gotiations might help cool the tensions in the east.

In his opening remarks, acting President Oleksandr Turchynov said authorities were “ready for a dialogue” but insisted they will not talk to the pro-Russia gunmen who have

seized buildings and fought government troops across east-ern Ukraine.

Insurgents in the east shrugged off the round-table talks as meaningless.

“We haven’t received any offers to join a round table and dialogue,” Denis Pushilin, an insurgent leader in Donetsk. “If the authorities in Kyiv want a dialogue, they must come here.” The AssociATed Press

Nigeria. Islamic militants kill 12 soldiers in firefightIslamic militants again at-tacked the remote Nigerian town from which nearly 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped, Nigeria’s military said Wednes-day, resulting in a firefight that killed 12 soldiers and led angry troops to fire on a command-ing officer.

Soldiers said the troops fired at a senior officer who came to pay respects to the killed soldiers, whose bodies were brought to a barracks in Maiduguri, the capital of north-eastern Borno state, about 130 kilometres north of the town of Chibok, where the girls were abducted a month ago.

The failure of Nigeria’s gov-ernment and military to find them after the April 15 mass abduction has brought mount-ing national and international outrage and forced Nigeria’s government to accept inter-national help.

On Tuesday morning, after learning about an impending attack by the militants, vil-lagers ambushed two trucks with gunmen, according to residents and a security official. At least 10 militants were de-

tained, and scores were killed, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. It was not immediately clear where the detainees were being held.

At least 276 of the school-girls are still held captive, with the group’s leader threatening to sell them into slavery. In a video released on Monday, he offered to release the girls in exchange for the freedom of jailed Boko Haram members. the AssocIAted Press

An international rights group is pushing the U.S. government and the tobacco industry to take further steps to protect children working on tobacco farms.

A report released Wednes-day by Human Rights Watch claims that children as young as seven sometimes work long hours in fields harvesting nicotine and pesticide-laced to-bacco leaves under sometimes hazardous conditions. Most of what the group documented is legal, but it wants cigarette makers to push for safety on tobacco farms.

Human Rights Watch de-tails findings from interviews with more than 140 children working on farms in North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee

and Virginia, where a major-ity of the country’s tobacco is grown.

Human Rights Watch met with many of the world’s big-gest cigarette makers and to-bacco suppliers to discuss its findings and push them to adopt or strengthen policies to prevent the practices in their supply chains.

Altria Group Inc., owner of Philip Morris USA, said it wants suppliers to follow the law. But Altria spokesman Jeff Caldwell said that restricting tobacco work to people 18 and over “is really contrary to a lot of the current practices that are in place in the U.S. and is at odds in these communities where family farming is really a way of life.”

“The conditions are in-humane and they should im-prove them,” said 17-year-old Erick Garcia, of Kinston, N.C., who has been working in tobac-co fields since he was 11 to help his family earn more money. the AssocIAted Press

A bill that would guarantee every Canadian a basic income — regardless of whether they have a job — took a step closer to fruition Wednesday, as the governing Newer Democratic Party introduced amendments to placate the Opposition.

Proposed changes include indexing the minimum income to inflation, tax credits for com-panies that hire human work-ers and stricter requirements on who can apply.

“The viability of the Can-adian economy should tran-scend partisan bickering,” NDP Leader Christina Sandberg said in a holocast with reporters. “We’re willing to meet the Neo-Conservatives halfway, but it’s up to them to show Canadians they care more about the for-tunes of people than robots.”

Robot redundancy. NGO voices health concerns over Alberta restaurant’s decision to hire human waitstaffAn upscale eatery in Alberta is cooking up controversy by hiring human wait staff.

Tailing Ponds, a seafood restaurant in an affluent Fort McMurray neighbourhood, recently replaced its robot servers with humans in a bid to attract more clientele.

“With the invention of robo-servers, dining has be-come increasingly imperson-al,” said Frida Williams, the restaurant’s owner. “We be-lieve there’s a market for fine

dining with a personalized, human touch.”

Having to pay human staff is expected to double the restaurant’s expenses, but Williams is confident her customers will shell out more to have their haddock served by a real person. Despite the initial capital investment in robo-servers, the cost of hu-man servers is greater over time, Williams said.

“Our market research shows that not only do people

prefer human staff, they’re also willing to pay a premium for that experience,” she said.

The move has caught the attention of the Alberta Sani-tation Society (ASS), a health-based NGO that sprang up in the wake of the wake of the deadly H9N1 outbreak in 2029.

Members of the group pro-tested via holocast outside of Tailing Ponds on Wednes-day. “They may think this is a novelty, but having people

handle your food is a prime vector for disease transmis-sion,” said ASS activist Lind-sey Hubler. “These diners might as well be eating their meals off of the floor.”

Williams said the restau-rant has complied with all municipal health bylaws, and stressed that the servers have little contact with the food.

“Every meal is cooked per-sonally by our Italian-made robot chef,” she said.Luke SimcOe/metRO

Year 2064: Robot waitersToday in 2064, the federal government is grappling with record unemployment levels due to leaps in artificial intelligence; a Fort McMurray restaurant has

weeks after news broke that Canada’s unemployment rate had tipped the scales at 50.3 per cent. The historic jobless numbers — driven largely by automation in the manufactur-ing and service sectors — sent the economy into a tailspin.

“What’s the incentive for companies to make products or offer services if the majority of the population can’t afford to buy them?” Bank of Canada president Tomas Grant intoned the day after the numbers were released.

The Opposition Neo-Con-

servative Party initially balked at the proposed Guaranteed Income Act, with leader Rich Wyteman calling it “a com-plete capitulation to socialism.” However, in recent weeks there have been signs the party may have softened its stance.

Without some support from the Neo-Conservatives, the min-ority NDP won’t have enough votes in Parliament to pass the legislation. In a bid to get the bill to second reading, the NDP introduced a watered-down version in the House Wednes-day. The planned corporate tax

hike, which experts say is necessary to fund the program, has been reduced to 50 per cent from 65 per cent, and ac-cess to the program would be restricted to Canadian citizens. The NDP wanted coverage to include permanent residents.

NDP Finance Minister Brent Francis reiterated that nearly half the $800-bil-lion cost of the program would be found by cutting programs made redundant by the minimum income grant. “I think a lot of people forget that we’re already paying for a lot of this,” Francis said. “Once the guaranteed minimum income is in place, the government will no longer have to administer and pay for programs like un-employment insurance, wel-fare, skills training or child tax credits.”

It remains to be seen whether the Neo-Conservatives will lend their support to the amended bill, or if they will provide an alternative solu-tion to Canada’s increasingly imbalanced economy. “Every day the government fails to act, more Canadian families suffer,” said Kwame Johansen, an anti-poverty activist in Ottawa. “The economy has changed irrevoc-ably, and we as a country need to change with it.”

T h e legislation has received mixed reviews from Canada’s busi-ness community. “As staff-ing costs have approached zero, we’ve seen profit margins soar in our industry,” said Kevin Kelly, chair of the Canadian Restaurant Association.

“If this policy gets more people shopping and eating out, our members are con-fident that any losses from higher taxes will be offset by increased revenues.

“This is nothing but a tax on success,” countered Chad Han-son, CEO of OfficeBot Industries, an Ontario-based company that supplies custom worker soft-

ware to the finance industry.

“Not only will this discour-age companies from investing in Canada, it will discourage Canadians from getting the skills and education they need to thrive in this new economy.”

Johansen called Hanson’s comments “misleading.”

“The era of big corporate tax cuts and incentives is over,” he said. “It made sense back when these companies created jobs in Canada, but not now.”

LURID SEX SCENE IN EDUCATION PROGRAM OUTRAGES PARENTS

Parents are expressing out-rage after it was revealed on Wednesday that hackers had broken into Lemon-adeStand#2, a popular chil-dren’s teaching module, and added a disturbing sex scene.

“This raises real concerns. I don’t even know what to tell them,” said Esmerelda, who says her children had previ-ously taken courses in the LemonadeStand#2 program.

The hacked software was discovered when an eight-year-old student attending Canopy Childminding Centre in Auckland, Aus-tralia, asked her facilita-tor why a young c o u p l e w a s n a k e d in the L e m -o n a d e S t a n d m o d u l e . The facilita-tor, Madiha Osman, says she blocked the module from the system and notified edu-cation officials at 4DEdu im-mediately.

“I was shocked,” Osman told Metro. “At least the older students will be used to see-ing such things but I don’t want to be the one to explain sex to the younger ones. What if the couple asked the child to join them?”

She says children from seven to 12 years old typ-ically access the program de-veloped by the private educa-

tion firm, with most users being around eight or

nine. The module takes anywhere from two to six months to com-plete and the scene in ques-tion was dis-covered nearly halfway through

the course. It is unclear at

this point when the program was hacked,

but officials told Metro they are investigating.

“We seriously doubt that this intrusion could have been inserted very long ago with-out any students mentioning it,” said Education Canada’s Deputy Minister Indira Mc-Kallie, “but we are working with 4DEdu and with police to pinpoint a timeline and safeguard against intrusions in other programs.”

Parents say the response is not good enough. “What changes in security have they made since the war hack-ing?” said Chwinabe Okafor, head of the Urban Canadian Parents Association (UCPA). “The ministry has to be held responsible for what our chil-dren are experiencing. I won-der how they would feel if it was their kid interacting with the couple.”

Police say the student was physically unharmed but they are working with 4DEdu to determine if any other chil-dren were touched or other-wise engaged with inappro-priately. Counselors will also be working with the students.

LemonadeStand#2 is avail-able in 38 countries and is a Business 1, Math 3, Reading 2, and Fitness 1 level program optimized for left-brain audi-tory learners, with Math and Fitness levels being adjustable.

Isaac Asimov is considered one of the most prolific and talented science fiction writers of all time. Asimov, who died in 1992, wrote over 500 books and made sometimes eerily accurate predictions about what our future might look like. In this interview from almost 30 years ago, Asimov talks about a system of learning that uses a tool that sounds an awful lot like the Internet. See for yourself.

Education

Calls for oversight in wake of intrusionsA number of intrusions in the past few years have led parents to campaign for greater gov-ernment oversight of 4DEdu and Sail Global, the two lar-

gest education firms in the market. In March of last year it was discovered that opera-tives had hacked into a New Canadian Bank-sponsored B15M11 module that would lead students to conclude the bank was responsible for the market crash of 2018. Two years ago, three German hack-ers were discovered to have made a number of intrusions into three Second World War

modules, nearly erasing any mention of concentration camps. Twelve countries in Asia have long held screening laws to ensure purchased pro-grams have been viewed and secured by an external body before reaching students. The UCPA has not yet called for such extreme measures but are working with ministry officials to find appropriate safeguards.

Mounties in Langley are hunt-ing for clues as to who may have taken six hounds from the back of a dog walker’s pickup truck Tuesday.

Police are asking the pub-lic to be on the lookout for the dogs believed stolen after the dog walker left them in the back of her pickup truck to use the washroom, said Langley RCMP Const. Holly Marks.

The dog walker had taken the dogs to an off-leash dog park in Brookswood. When she returned 10 minutes later, the truck’s canopy was unlatched and the dogs were gone, said Marks.

The dog walker searched the area for hours but wasn’t able to locate any of them, she said. Her truck was parked in the 4400 block of 206 Street in Langley.

The missing dogs include a black and white pit bull named Mia; a grey Bouvier-poodle cross named Teemo; a black and white Boston Ter-rier named Buddy; a border collie named Salty; Oscar the black and brown Rottweiler-husky cross; and Molly, a grey and black-coloured blue heel-er-German shepherd cross (not pictured).

Marks said the owners believe the dogs were taken and did not escape from the truck.

In her career, Marks said she has never seen such a brazen dog-napping incident, especially in such a short time frame.

As a dog lover herself, she said she hopes the owners are reunited soon with their furry family members.

“Obviously these are people that care about their animals because they’ve sent them to a dog walker for the day instead of leaving them in their house,” she said.

“I can’t imagine what they’re going though.”

For sale? Sears may sell stores in Canada

Sears is considering sell-ing its struggling Canadian operations, a move that will likely lead to the closure of its brick-and-mortar stores in this country and make room for a new retailer to enter the market.

The U.S. parent company, owned by Sears Holdings in Chicago and controlling shareholder Edward Lamp-ert, said Wednesday it was looking at strategic options for its 51 per cent interest in Sears Canada, including the possible sale.

While Sears Canada says it will co-operate with the Sears Holdings review and in-sists its Canadian stores will continue to operate as usual, observers see the move as the beginning of the end.

“I’m not sure that we’re going to have the Sears brand in Canada because I’m not sure that anybody wants to buy the operating busi-ness; it’s under-invested,” said Mark Satov, founder of Satov Consultants Inc. in Toronto.

“There are some people in a different age category that probably have a habit of go-ing there and will miss it to some degree, just like people miss going to the restaurant at Zellers and having coffee all day when Zellers became Target, but (beyond that) I don’t think they’re relevant.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Rumoured bid

Cineplex is not playing around with arcade plansMovie exhibitor Cineplex Inc. sees a future in arcade games as it looks for ways to boost revenues beyond movie theatres.

The renewed focus on arcades comes after a report in the Wall Street Journal last month said that Cineplex has part-nered with private equity firm Onex Corp. to submit an offer for restaurant and arcade chain Dave and Buster’s, valued at $1 bil-lion US. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Rising tensions

Oil rises above $102 a barrel amid ukraine turmoilThe price of U.S. oil climbed above $102 US a barrel Wednesday amid ongoing tensions in Ukraine and an industry report showing crude stocks falling at a key U.S. storage hub.

Netflix increased its share of fixed-line Internet traffic in North America in the first half of 2014, accounting for 34 per cent of data flowing to consum-ers during peak times, up from 32 per cent in the latter half of 2013.

That’s according to a new report from Sandvine Inc., a Canadian networking services company.

Sandvine also found that file-sharing — the main tool of content piracy — had fallen to 8.3 per cent of all daily network traffic, compared to 31 per cent

in 2008, as legitimate options flourished.

Sandvine for the first time identified Internet users who are likely “cord cutters,” or those likely to drop traditional pay TV. They were the top 15 per cent heaviest users of streaming audio and video.

The group accounted for 54 per cent of all Internet traf-fic, consuming on average 212 gigabytes of data per month. That would be roughly equiva-lent to watching 100 hours of video per month, Sandvine said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Netflix: Reigning e-traffic king

EU aims to put an end to ‘walls of death’

The European Union’s execu-

tive on Wednesday proposed to ban all use of drift nets in EU waters and on its vessels by year’s end to better enforce the protection of dolphins, sharks, swordfish and bluefin tuna.

Drift nets stretching for miles close to the surface have often been responsible for the incidental capture and killing of thousands of marine animals that are important to the eco-system. They were also respon-

sible for indiscriminate fishing that often resulted in huge by-catches with little commercial value.

Often they were called the “walls of death” since they trapped and killed anything within nets that could measure dozens of kilometres.

“Fishing with drift nets destroys marine habitats, en-dangers marine wildlife and threatens sustainable fish-

eries,” said EU Fisheries Com-missioner Maria Damanaki.

These type of nets were previously used in the hunt for endangered bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean until the EU banned such fishing in 2002. Even if laws already restricted its use, drift net fishing often continued illegally and a total ban on drift nets would make catching cheats easier. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The beautiful mane: Soccer, now with lions

SCREENGRAB

The thing about people that seem to have a mystical connection with lions is that there’s nothing really mystical about it so long as you know your way around a cat.

Just watch sharply-dressed Lion Whisperer Kevin Richardson in action. A few chin scratches here, a head-butt there. Add a dash of flank rubs and he’s earned enough feline devotion to spawn a spirited soccer match.

There’s a lion whisperer inside all of us. Then again, so is a healthy fear of an animal that can kill you by mistake.

You could walk off with heels worthy of Cinderella … if you’ve got £200,000 ($337,000 US) to spare. The Borgezie Princess Constel-lation stilettos — crafted in either platinum or 18-carat gold and encrusted with

Q&A

Designer defends diamond -encrusted stilettos

1,290 diamonds — are the world’s most expensive shoes. Designer Christopher Shellis, who’s been working on the stilettos for seven years, tells Metro why the footwear that requires a mortgage is a “bargain.”

The shoes are the price of a sports car or an apartment, so who are you expecting to splash the cash? Actually, I’ve already had an enquiry. I’ve been approached by some people, who won’t disclose their names, asking whether I could create 100 pairs of stilet-tos like this one. It’s for a royal engagement.

That’s ridiculous! £200,000 sounds like a lot of money but people are spending hundreds of thousands on diamond-encrusted iPhone accessories or buying £500,000-plus cars. It’s a bargain, mate! (Laughs)

Do you see them as an invest-ment piece? Yeah, I think the stilettos are like the Damien Hirst diamond-encrusted skull. Actually they’re better because they’ve got a practical value as well as a display value.

Does a bodyguard come with the purchase? (Laughs) The people who buy these will bring their own bodyguard. METRO

Here’s a two-four gun salute to Queen Vic-toria, namesake of the best holiday on the en-tire calendar.

Sure, the full-bodied Crown Vic doesn’t have the same cache as Santa’s sleigh, but that’s the point.

No gifts to buy, no relatives to visit, no dates to remember. The lazy long weekend May Day is the best precisely because it’s no emergency.

Long live holidays that aren’t tied to any-thing of importance, I say. Long live Queen Vicky whispering sweet, sweet nothing in my ear from her ignored corner of history.

I know, I know. There are people out there that feel some sort of bizarre kinship to a long-dead sort-of leader who kind of ruled us when our country was born, forever inspiring the Canadian people with her era’s strict table manners and fear of sex.

In the interests of keeping the die-hard Queen fans happy,

here are a few interesting true facts about Queen Victoria Daye and the holiday that bears her name.

Did you know?

* Victoria Day is named after Queen Victoria, Ruler of Barbecues, Defender of Gardening and Empress of Putting Your Boat in the Water.

* Her real name: Robert Zimmerman.* Victoria was the longest-sitting U.K. sover-

eign, staying in her royal Barcalounger for three straight weeks while she caught up on all seven seasons of William Shakespeare’s series The Henrys.

* Winner of several wars against her French counterpart Queen Capitula.

* Founded Victoria’s Secret in 1871. The closely guarded se-cret, held close to the chest until 2005, was that lingerie will not turn you into a buxom 20-year-old model.

* Victoria faced six assassination attempts, most of them by men who missed with pistols at close range, providing George Lucas with the real-world inspiration for the storm troopers in Star Wars.

* Almost always depicted wearing black, because it did a good job hiding the Yorkshire pudding stains.

* Despite being thought of as a historically intimidating fig-ure, Victoria was a surprising three inches tall. Her image on postage stamps of the day is life-sized.

* Victoria Day is celebrated in other countries by looking in the general direction of Canada and shrugging.

So, yes, Queen Victoria has done many great things, and you should talk to your local plate collector or Wikipedia page mod-erator to learn more about them.

But to me her greatest accomplishment will always be a why-not holiday that happens just as the sun starts to spread its warmth, the leaves make their first appearance and the flowers bloom.

Only in Canada? Pretty.

As a songwriter, poet and au-thor, Leonard Cohen has delved deep into the meaning of love, lust and life.

The complex themes Cohen explores intrigued a 13-year-old Oliver Swain, although he now admits his teenage self wasn’t entirely sure what the singer was going on about most of the time.

“My parents had a couple of records and I fell in love with Cohen’s music at a young age,” recalls the 37-year-old Amer-icana folk artist.

“When I started playing music at age 13 or 14, I started listening to Leonard Cohen and reading his books. To be hon-est, I wasn’t sure what he was talking about. But there was

something there that was in-teresting to me and made me want to find out more.”

Swain’s early fascination with the Bard of Montreal has come full circle with the recent release of In City and In For-est, a mesmerizing collection of Cohen covers he recorded with B.C. musician Glenna Gar-ramone, under the moniker Tower of Song.

Instead of rehashing classics such as Hallelujah and Bird on a Wire, which have been covered numerous times, Swain and Garramone opted for more ob-scure Cohen numbers.

The pair still puts their own spin on the old favourites, Everybody Knows and Hey, That’s No Way Say Goodbye, but one of the more interesting tracks is True Love Leaves No Traces, which was taken from Cohen’s 1977 album, Death of a Ladies’ Man.

“It’s an obscure record Leon-ard Cohen wrote with Phil Spector,” says the Calgary born, Victoria, B.C.-based singer.

“It’s not as much of a favour-ite with fans, but it’s loaded with amazing compositions.”

The idea for In City and In Forest came after Swain and

Garramone played a one-off show in Vancouver as Tower of Song in 2012.

The response was so posi-tive, Swain and Garramone decided to continue with the project.

“There’s a certain depth in the material,” says Swain of Co-hen’s appeal.

“It’s spiritually and sensu-ally dense. And the way we sing together is also in its way spiritual and sensual, so it just clicked.”

Tower of Song performs at the Ironwood Stage in Ingle-wood on Thursday night.

Switching it up. Thespian becomes first actor to self-distribute a film in the U.S. with his new documentary

Liz [email protected]

Kevin Spacey doesn’t shy away from taking big risks.

It started when he was a teenager and switched high schools — to California’s Chatsworth — so he could work with two other actors he thought brilliant: Val Kilmer and Mare Winning-ham.

“Everybody thought I was nuts to do that. I’ve been f---ing nuts my whole life,” he says in a recent phone inter-view.

He continued this peri-

patetic path into adulthood, moving from California to New York to study drama, then all but leaving Holly-wood behind 11 years ago to run The Old Vic theatre in London. “I love being dis-ruptive. I’ve been making decisions like that my whole life, so it was very exciting to me,” he says of the bold move.

His latest shakeup is Now: In the Wings on a World Stage, a documentary he funded, produced and starred in. With its release, Spacey becomes the first ac-tor to self-distribute a film in the U.S. It’s a savvy busi-ness move that allows Spacey more control over the pro-ject.

“I always wanted to be a good businessman as well as a good actor,” he says. “I’ve always admired actors who were very good at business. My idol, Jack Lemon, was a very good businessman.

Many people don’t even know he produced Cool Hand Luke.”

The doc follows the Bridge Project, a theatre group, as they tour the globe on a grueling 200-plus show production of Shakespeare’s Richard III. Sam Mendes is at the helm as director of the play, with Spacey playing the fated villain-hero — the very character on which his House of Cards President Frank Underwood is based.

“It was coincidental,” he says of the occurrence of playing Richard III and then Frank Underwood. “House of Cards was being developed before I even knew I was do-ing Richard III.”

The doc gives a glimpse of what life is like as part of a travelling theatre group and the bonds that develop, pep-pered with some travelogue moments — like a cruise with the cast along Italy’s Amalfi Coast. In it, Spacey

admits that Richard III was the most difficult role he’d ever played. “It’s the second longest role in all of Shakespeare’s canon after Hamlet. When Shakespeare wrote the play, he was quite young, and he didn’t use the device he used in later plays where he gave the ac-tor breaks. In this particu-lar play, out of 24 scenes, Richard is in 22 of them, so there’s literally no time to take a breath.”

Can Spacey pick a favour-ite moment from the tour?

“It’s hard to pick out a favourite,” he says. “But I suspect if I absolutely had to point at one, it would end up being the 14,000-seat amphi-theatre in Greece — the Epi-daurus — where we played three performances, and it was some of the most incred-ible experiences I have ever had in front of an audience. You’re playing to the gods without any amplifications.”

Death. Searching for Sugar Man director commits suicide after battle with depressionMalik Bendjelloul, director of the acclaimed Searching for Sugar Man documentary, was widely known for his en-thusiasm, kindness and high spirits — so the news Wed-nesday that he had taken his own life shocked colleagues around the world.

Bendjelloul’s brother Jo-har Bendjelloul told Swed-ish daily Aftonbladet that his 36-year-old brother com-mitted suicide Tuesday after

struggling with depression for a short period. “Life is not always simple,” Johar Bendjelloul said, adding that receiving the message that his brother had committed suicide was the worst thing he had ever experienced.

“I don’t know how to handle it. I don’t know,” he said.

Bendjelloul rose to inter-national fame in 2013 when his debut feature film,

Searching for Sugar Man, won an Oscar for best docu-mentary. The film tells the story of how Detroit-based singer-songwriter Sixto Rod-riguez, who had flopped in the United States, became a superstar in apartheid-era South Africa without know-ing about it.

British film producer Simon Chinn, who pro-duced Searching for Sugar Man together with Bend-

jelloul, said he was shocked and deeply saddened by the news of his friend’s passing.

“It seems so unbeliev-able,” Chinn told The Asso-ciated Press over the tele-phone.

“I saw him two weeks ago in London. He was so full of life, hope and optimism and happiness, and looking forward to the future and fu-ture collaborations.”the aSSociateD preSSMalik Bendjelloul the associated press

I’m not a cheapskate, but I sure do enjoy saving money on my purchases where and when I can.

Saving money actually drives much of my purchas-ing behaviour because the more money I can keep, the greater my net worth and the more options I have to do what I want with my life.

Frugal living is different from being a cheapskate. Frugal people maximize the dollars they’ve worked hard to earn by negotiating prices, finding deals, cou-poning, buying on sale, and determining the best ways to buy products and services for the lowest possible price. Sure, sometimes my friends think I’m cheap because I drive a second-hand, afford-able, fuel-efficient Volkswa-gen; I love free events; I buy in bulk; and Kijiji is my best friend. But I disagree. I never go without. I’m simply a smart spender, and my bank account proves it.

Cheapskates, on the other hand, have a bad rap for not buying what they need, when they need it, because they are afraid to spend their money. When they do spend, they’ll often buy a cheap product that doesn’t last, which then creates unneces-sary waste and costs more

in the long term because it breaks and needs to be re-placed.

The unfortunate reality is that despite their belief that they’re saving money, cheap-skates often end up broke because they buy low-quality things and do not know how to spot good value.

Frugal young ladies do not spend frivolously. They take time to research their

purchases and know what is and is not a good deal.

Regardless of whether you’re an overspender or a cheapskate, with just a little effort, you can live frugally and save money without compromising your lifestyle.

Chapter 1 reveals that research shows wealthy women live within their means and frugally.

Dr. Thomas Stanley has

conducted extensive stud-ies on thousands of wealthy men and women.

In his book Stop Acting Rich ... And Start Living Like a Real Millionaire, he discusses how most millionaires keep meticulous budgets, live in homes valued at less than $300,000, and purchase rath-er than lease their cars (and those cars are often second-hand).

And surprisingly, typical millionaire women never pay more than $140 for a pair of shoes — and you know as well as I do that Jimmy Choos don’t fall into that price bracket! excerpteD froM Well-heeleD by leSley-anne Scorgie. © 2014 by leSlie-anne Scorgie. all rightS reServeD. publiSheD by DunDurn. available at variouS bookStoreS anD aS an ebook.

Brief

J.K. Rowling’s next trilogy to hit theatres in 2016The first film in the trilogy inspired by J.K. Rowling’s book Fantas-tic Beasts and Where to Find Them will arrive in North American theatres on Nov. 18, 2016.

Following the an-nouncement of the project in March, produ-cers have now given J.K. Rowling fans a date to look forward to.

The highly anticipat-ed spin-off on the Harry Potter movies will follow the adventures of the “magizoologist” Newt Scamander, who devotes his life to the study of magical creatures. Though set in an exten-sion of the Harry Potter universe, the new trilogy is expected to take place in New York around 70 years before the young wizard’s birth.

The three films in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them spin-off will be loosely adapted from the 54-page book of the same name, which Rowling published in 2001. afp

Jay Z shops with 100thproblem Solange

In perhaps an unspoken message to let us know that we will never, ever, ever know what is up with the Knowles-Z clan, Jay Z and Solange Knowles calmly shopped for jewelry together in Manhattan on Tuesday, just days after Solange attacked Jay Z in an elevator after the Met Gala.

The rap mogul and his 100th problem were spot-ted at Mr. Flawless, a high end jewelry store, according to TMZ. The pair browsed women’s jewelry for about

20 minutes, mostly separ-ately. They spoke little to each other and left without buying anything.

It would take remark-able self-possession to calm-ly go on a shopping trip with someone who tried to put a stiletto heel through your eye just days earlier. Maybe Jay Z just wants his peaceful home life back, so he’s trying to forge a truce. Or maybe they’re both trying to get back in Beyoncé’s good graces with a sparkly peace offering. Or maybe it’s Blue Ivy who’s pulling all the strings here, and they have to bring her diamond-encrusted baby rattles or else.

Jay Z isn’t the only one who’s trying to publicly reinforce his relationship with Solange: Beyoncé has filled her Instagram with pictures of the sisters hang-ing out in happier times.

The highs and lows of being Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman has never made the choice that Grace Kelly did — quitting acting to begin another life as Princess of Monaco. But she’s rarely found equilibrium in her career and personal life. “When I won the Oscar, I went home and I didn’t have (love) in my life,” said Kid-man, who won best actress in 2003, two years after she and Tom Cruise divorced. “That was the most intensely lonely experience in my life.”

Kidman stars as Kelly

in Grace of Monaco, which premiered Wednesday as the opener of the Cannes Film Festival. “Strangely for me, the greatest highs have coincided with the greatest lows,” said Kidman. “So (during) my pro-fessional highs a lot of times I’ve had personal lows and they’ve collided. That’s always aggravated me that it’s gone that way. I’m hoping one day I can have a professional high and a personal high.” THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber is developing quite the weird little rap sheet. The pop star has been accused of graffiti, vandal-ism, getting his bodyguards to beat up a guy, and now, very short theft.

Bieber was at Sherman Oaks Castle Park, a sports complex, when he and his entourage reportedly got into an altercation with a group of men by the batting cages. According to TMZ, a woman claims that during the alter-cation, Bieber saw her take out her cellphone and came over to confront her about whether she’d taken pictures. The woman says that when she refused to show him her phone, Bieber reached into her purse and took it.

The two wrestled for the phone and Justin tore it out of her hand, but couldn’t see her photo stream because the phone was locked, she told police. Bieber gave the phone back and insisted that she erase the photos. After she unlocked the phone and showed him she’d never taken any in the first place,

Bieber finally left her alone, she said.

The unnamed woman filed a criminal complaint. The LAPD confirmed to CNN that Justin has been accused of attempted robbery. How-ever, no charges have been filed.

Poor old Bieber can’t win. When he tries to cover up one potential scandal he ends up embroiled in an-other. Maybe he should buy a private island. Seems like the best solution for all of us if he just isolates himself in Biebervania. METRO WORLD NEWS

As the weather starts to warm up, it’s natural to ex-perience a little more spring in your step.

You might be excited to shed those socks and boots, but before you start strut-ting around town in strappy sandals and peep-toes, you’ll want to be sure to start the season off on the right foot, says essie Canada’s lead nail artist, Rita Remark.

“Because they are out in the open, our feet tend to have more issues like dry-ness, cracking and chipping when the weather is warm,” says Remark.

With that in mind, she says treating the skin on your feet the same way you would the rest of your body is important: exfoli-ate where necessary and moisturize.

“Use the coarse side of a double sided pedicure file to remove any calluses or rough skin, then use the finer side to soften them,” she says. “After this step, it’s good practice to moisturize because it allows for better product absorption and a longer lasting softness.”

She adds that you’ll want to apply sunscreen before stepping out into the sun —

unless you want sandal tan lines, of course.

And naturally, a layer of polish will kick up any spring outfit an extra notch.

Revlon Canada’s nail ex-

pert, Leeanne Colley recom-mends gravitating towards bright colours this season, as they work with every skin tone and are a great way of working the colour-blocking trend into your look from all angles.

When it comes to the question of whether bright toenails is a polished enough look for work, Col-ley says it all comes down to maintenance.

“As long as they are chip-free, short and remain glossy,” says Colley of your professional pedicure. “If

not? Skip the open toe until you (clean them up).”

Of course caring for

your feet shouldn’t just be a female concern.

Most men might think of spa treatments as a luxury, but oftentimes they ignore real health concerns when it comes to their feet.

Daniel Francoeur, the owner of Bodé Spa Medi-Wellness for Men, with locations in both Ottawa and Toronto, says that men often suffer in silence with foot problems like warts, corns and fungus or ingrown nails.

One of his clients, a sen-ior, had been having trouble walking because his toenails were turning down. With a little attention, his problem has been solved, he’s more mobile, and he’s lost 25 pounds.

“When you say pedicure to a man, they think of a big, drippy red nail,” says Francoeur.

“Men often don’t consid-er their feet important, but once they realize what can be done with them, it’s al-most always the first service we’ll see them rebooking.”

“The flavour and nutritional content of sweet potatoes spurs cooks to find surprising ways to work them into all kinds of dishes,” write the editors of Bet-ter Homes and Gardens in the book Fresh Grilling. “Here, they

help fill super-healthy quesadil-las packed with jack cheese, navy beans, and baby spinach.”1. In a bowl combine beans, 1/4 cup of the cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and chili powder; set aside. For cucumber relish, in a small bowl combine cucumber, radishes and remaining 1 table-spoon cilantro; set aside.

2. In a medium saucepan cook sweet potatoes, covered, in lightly salted boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender; drain well. Return potatoes to saucepan and coarsely mash;

stir in cumin.

3. Spread mashed sweet pota-toes over half of each tortilla. Top each with beans, spinach, green onions, and cheese. Fold each tortilla in half over the fill-ing, pressing firmly.

4. For a charcoal or gas grill, place quesadillas directly on the grill rack over medium heat. Cover and grill for 4 min-utes, turning once halfway

through grilling. To serve, cut quesadillas into wedges and pass cucumber relish and, if desired, Greek yogurt sprinkled with paprika.

Many would agree with naturalist David Attenborough that nature “is the greatest source of visual beauty.” And that includes the creepy crawlies: From snakes’ skins to the intricate physiology of the smallest bug, we can’t help but be impressed by the beauty of creatures that buzz, flit and slither. Artists and designers have

long used insects, reptiles and other small animals as inspiration. Let’s grab our nets and catch a few of the most intriguing recent examples

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The artful specimenIn his Pheromone series, artist and designer Christopher Marley of Salem, Ore., marries his passion for crisp design with a fascination for insects, sea organisms and birds by arranging them simply yet artfully on plain back-grounds in shadow boxes. A stripey mountain kingsnake seems poised to meander north of the frame in which he resides. A prion urchin looks like a tiny alien spacecraft, sprung from the confines of the ocean floor. Dozens of beetles are arranged like the iridescent squadron of an entomological army. Butterflies form kaleidoscopic prisms.

The displays are an arresting mix of science and art. The specimens, which died of natural or incidental causes, come from museums, breeders and zoos around the world, Marley says.

“Sharing the thrill of discovery is one of the most driv-ing aspects of my work.” (pheromonedesign.com)

A slither of snakes New York artist George Venson creates birds, snakes and octopuses in vibrant, painterly hues, and then ar-ranges the images on wallpaper. He wants the walls to “come alive,” and there’s a sense of movement in each design. Snakes slither through backgrounds of ink, acid green or ruby. (voutsa.com)

Steampunk beetles, bees and bugsSculptor Mike Libby once found a dead beetle and got to thinking about how it had moved. He began dis-secting and experimenting — at the same time taking apart an old wristwatch, and using those pieces — until he’d come up with the first of an ongoing collection of fantastical steampunk arachnids, bees and other creepy crawlies. He uses real insect carcasses and bits from watches, vintage typewriters and old sewing machines to fashion carapaces, wings, antennae and pincers for his mechanical menagerie. (insectlabstudio.com)

Nature — it’s a classic

“In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous.” Aristotle



…who knows a guy whose friend has a teammate…


For years, it was enough to park a barbecue grill next to a picnic table on a patio and call it an “outdoor kitchen.” But over the past decade, North Americans have taken backyard cooking and dining to a new level, adding elabor-ate cooking islands, outdoor sinks and refrigerators, even outdoor TVs.

Unless you have a really tall fence, this is the one “room” in your house that neighbours will see whether you invite them to or not, notes designer Sarah Fish-burne, director of trend and design for The Home Depot. That inspires many home-owners to pay extra attention to their outdoor entertaining area.

Many of us also love the appeal of cooking and en-tertaining in a space that’s relatively indestructible, says designer Jeff Blunkosky, owner of Pittsburgh Stone and Waterscapes.

“If kids spill cake or Kool-Aid on your patio,” he says, “you just pull out your hose and hose it off.”

Here are some thoughts from Flynn, Blunkosky and Los Angeles-based designer Brian Patrick Flynn, creator of the design blog Flynnside-Out.com, about the elements that make a useful, beauti-ful outdoor kitchen without huge expense.

Build an islandAbout a decade ago, Blunk-osky says, many homeowners began feeling that “a stand-alone grill just kind of stand-ing there” didn’t look that great in their backyards. Plus, it provided little workspace for prepping food. The an-swer was to build around it, incorporating the grill into a stone base with a countertop and drawers underneath — pretty and practical.

Costs vary around the country, but these designers say an investment of $3,000 to $5,000 US will cover a simple, six-foot-long cooking island with a basic grill em-bedded in it and a two-foot-

deep countertop area. The countertop serves as cooking prep space, and usually ex-tends out so that bar stools can be pulled up underneath to create a bar area for guests.

To turn a cooking island into a full-service kitchen, add a refrigerator, sink and ice maker, plus more stor-age drawers. That involves running a water line and power line out to the struc-ture, so costs rise. So does the time the project takes, says Blunkosky: Designing and in-stalling an elaborate cooking island surrounded by paving stones can take as long as putting an addition on your house.

Bring the heatAs people spend more on their outdoor kitchens, they want to use them for as much of the year as possible.

Fireplaces, fire pits and heaters, either freestanding or wall-mounted, are good ways to extend the season for your outdoor kitchen. Outdoor pizza ovens have be-come popular, too. And grills have come a long way since the days when we poured lighter fluid on a pile of coals.

Fishburne says the new generation of outdoor cooks wants more than steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs. “They’re thinking about Ko-rean barbecue,” she says, or asking, “How can I make breakfast outside?”

The new Spirit Grill from Weber has “seven inter-changeable grates,” she says, including a pizza stone, pan-cake maker and poultry rotis-serie attachment. Some buy-ers use it to make three meals a day outside, she says. Prices begin between $299 and $399 US, but many of the attach-ments are sold separately.

Grill quality is important, Blunkosky says, especially in areas with harsh weather. But if you’re trying to be strategic with money, Flynn points out that even a nice grill and other outdoor appliances might need to be replaced within five years. He recom-mends investing more in the permanent things (a higher-end cooking island or paving stones) rather than a hugely expensive grill.

Frame the spaceOutdoor draperies can add

privacy, inject colour and pat-tern, and set off your dining area as a distinct space, Flynn says. They also can make a small patio feel larger, he says: If you hang curtains that are seven or eight feet high, “you will emphasize the height of the space rather than emphasizing how small the footprint is.”

Pergolas achieve the same effect, and used together, the two elements can create a dining area that feels luxuri-ous, at minimal expense.

A pergola also gives you more options for built-in lighting. A chandelier or hanging pendant light over the dining table can make your outdoor space feel like a true dining room, and there are many designed for out-door use. Outdoor sconces can be hung on the pergola’s posts.

Ace accessoriesConsider which splurges would serve you best: Extra electrical outlets? An outdoor

icemaker or small refriger-ator? Maybe an outdoor TV?

As for tables and chairs, Fishburne says there are many options. Some clients, she says, invest in high-end brands with a reputation for lasting a decade or more. Brown Jordan, for instance, offers a 15-year warranty on the frames of their fur-niture, and Fishburne has “heard stories about people who have had Brown Jordan in their families for genera-tions.”

If you have a relatively small outdoor space, Flynn suggests looking for mod-ular furniture pieces. Some outdoor sofas, he says, can be easily broken down into smaller sections that can be used as table seating.

He also suggests adding a mobile bar cart to serve as a cocktail station or as a spot for serving dishes. It brings a bit of indoor style, and can easily be brought inside dur-ing bad weather. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

…who knows a guy who grew up with a woman who has a grandma…


Once a luxury product in home design, natural stone like marble has become com-mon in many kitchens and bathrooms.

Marble has been used for many years in kitchens and bathrooms for countertops, backsplashes and shower and bathtub surrounds, but Kyla Bidgood says many home-owners are finding new ways to introduce marble, slate and other natural stone into their homes.

“I just purchased a lamp for a client and it is a small al-most cube-shaped box made of marble with an Edison bulb in it,” says the Victoria-based interior designer. “It is just a great way to add nat-ural stone to a living room

space without doing a full covering.”

Creating the look of ledge stone and brick in a new home is time consuming and hard on a budget, but Bi-dgood says homeowners can create the impact of those materials by using a product that can be installed like tile.

“The veneer is not the full depth of a ledge stone or brick; it’s only a couple of inches deep,” she says. “But when it is installed, you wouldn’t know the differ-

ence. You wouldn’t know it’s not actually ledge stone, and it is stone, just not the whole piece.”

Jason Kasper, principal at Winnipeg’s Ideate Design Consulting, says one of the hottest natural stones on the market is travertine.

The form of limestone de-posited by mineral springs can be used in a variety of applications, from kitchen counters to shower sur-rounds, as long as it’s properly installed and sealed. The naturally formed voids | in the stone must be filled,

Kasper says.He notes that many cli-

ents will approach him with a product in mind for a space, but he cautions they need to think of how it will be used.

“The biggest advice we give to clients is not to limit themselves to the products they use, but to be know-ledgeable and know how to treat those products,” he says.

Up against the wall

When a homeowner chooses to use marble as a wallcovering they have to purchase a whole slab and then have it profes-sionally cut to fit the space.

The expense of using a full slab of stone like marble has often deterred home-owners from including it in their decor, but Victoria-based interior designer Kyla Bidgood says there are cost-effective options to make it accessible for a variety of designs.



…who knows a guy who walks his dog in the same park as his neighbour…


The renovation of the mas-ter bathroom in a new house turned out beautifully, with a frameless glass shower and handmade ceramic tile accents. The elderly owner didn’t want to make it look institutional with a grab bar.

He needn’t have worried.Many of today’s grab bars

are cleverly disguised, look-ing instead like sleek soap dishes, functional shampoo trays, trendy towel racks and even toilet paper holders.

Take for instance the corner shelf from American Standard’s Invisia line. It looks like nothing more than a solid white tray set inside a tubular frame. But that tube, available in brushed stain-less or chrome, functions as a grab bar and can support up to 500 pounds.

Want fun and style?

Best Bath Systems has a ser-ies of acrylic towel bars with hidden mounts that come in more than two dozen col-ours, some opaque, some

translucent, some with em-bedded stones and some that even glow in the dark.

Or for a spa feel, they make a teak grab bar that comes in six different lengths, from 10 inches to 42 inches. Mounting hardware is available in a choice of five finishes.

“We realized there were a lot of people who wanted an attractive option for safety, and who didn’t want to be reminded of their inabilities first thing in the morning and last thing at night,” said Abbie Sladick, 53, of Naples, Florida, a certified contractor and remodeler who created the GreatGrabz line. It was purchased by Best Bath Sys-tems last year for an undis-closed amount.

Wondering what having a grab bar in the bathroom might do to the eventual resale value of a house?

Turns out, it might just help it.

A 2012 survey found that about half of those ages 55 to 64 thought that bathroom aids, such as grab bars and shower seating, were “essen-tial” or “desirable.” That rose to nearly two-thirds among those age 65 and older. Even in the younger age groups,

about a third of those sur-veyed agreed.

The National Association

of Home Builders’ online survey of more than 3,860 respondents included only those who had purchased a house in the past three years or were planning on doing so in the next three years. In other words, people who were “really thinking” about what they wanted in a home, said Stephen Melman, NAHB’s director of economic services.

Statistics show that while people 85 and older are the most likely to slip and fall,

no age group is immune. Nearly 22 million people

over the age of 15 went to the hospital because of a bath-room injury in 2008, accord-ing to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Falls accounted for more than 80

per cent of the injuries.Although 85 per cent of

those taken to a hospital were treated and released, the injuries still resulted in approximately $67.3 billion in lifetime medical costs, the CDC said. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Who thinks it’s time to cut to the chase?

We do. Every well-decorated room should have some sort of pat-tern, whether it’s featured on fabrics, rugs, wallpaper or ac-cessories. Even wood floors and furnishings have patterns to consider when designing a space.

Patterns help to bring a room to life with movement,

shape and colour. An un-trained eye may never recog-nize the thought process that goes into creating a well-bal-anced room, but not incorpor-ating pattern into your decor scheme can lead to a plain, boring room.

Here are the ABC’s of in-corporating pattern into your own space:

Mixing patterns

• Every room needs a straight-lined pattern (such as stripes, plaids or graphics) and a curvy-line fabric (such as flor-al, paisley or polka dots). • Using two or more of a similar pattern (such as floral) rarely works unless the size of those patterns is distinctly dif-ferent. • Solid (non-patterned) fabrics

can help relieve the eye of too much visual movement but

can sometimes look plain if they are not textured.

Pattern shapes

• Curvy or rounded patterns tend to imply a traditional or feminine look whereas straight-lined patterns imply a masculine or modern look. • When mixing straight and curvy patterns, incorporate 70 per cent of your favourite look and 30 per cent of the other for a perfect balance; never 50/50. • Wood has grain and that should be considered a pattern when decorating. Oak and walnut have curvy lines and zebra wood has straight lines.

Scale

• Put the biggest pattern on the biggest piece — that’s the proper way to choose the size of a pattern.

• For impact, add an oversized print on a tiny item like a pil-low. • When choosing wallpaper, the bigger the print, the fuller the room will look. This is a great way to visually fill a space where a lot of furniture is not needed, such as stairwells, foy-ers and powder rooms.

Colour

• Various patterns can work together as long as they all share the same colourway. • The third most obvious col-our in the room’s main print is the colour to paint the walls of that room. • Decorating a room with just one colour, creates a mono-chromatic colour scheme. Add textured fabrics and rugs to fill the eye’s need for pattern.

Mix and match patterns like a proMix it up in style. Follow these rules to create the perfect combination of patterns in a room

Like a good wine, wood bar-rels get better with age. While the wood ages they collect stains from wine, whisky, or other spirits, and take on more character. Wood barrels are rustic, immediately rec-ognizable, and have become highly sought out among DIY-ers for resourceful projects like these.

Coffee table

Create a remarkable piece of furniture and an even bet-ter conversation piece with a wood barrel coffee table.

First, lay the barrel on its side and cut it in half horizontally. To create a broad base for the table top to rest, screw boards around the frame of the cut. Measure the outside of this frame and use the measurements to cre-ate a lid with the same dimensions. Once com-plete, install the top with chest hinges to make the perfect hiding spots for blankets, firewood, or kid and pet toys. To keep the barrel stable, it will also be necessary to create a cradle that matches the curve of the barrel.

Bar table with hidden storage

Keep the good times roll-

ing by repurposing a barrel into a sophisticated bar table for hosting wine and cheese parties. Stand the barrel upright and cut a rect-angular door from the top of the barrel to the bottom. Before attaching the hinges,

install a stained wood shelf in the middle to hold wine bottles and glasses. Once the hin-ges and a door handle are installed, com-plete the look with a glass or wood counter-top to serve cheese pairings.

Pet bedThe bottom quarter of barrels can serve as comfortable pet beds and are strong enough to hold up to even the toughest pets. After cut-

ting the barrel all the way around, cut a dip on one side to make it easier for the pet to enter and exit. Make sure to sand down the barrel to elim-inate any sharp edges. Paint

or stain to match your pet’s personality or the room’s decor and add a round pillow or a blanket to the bottom.

Max Pacioretty scored the winner midway through the second period and Carey Price stopped 29 shots as the upstart Montreal Canadiens defeated Boston 3-1 in Game 7 on Wed-nesday to oust the league-lead-ing Bruins from the playoffs.

The Canadiens started fast and then stymied the Bruins, winners of the Presidents’ Tro-phy for the best regular-season

record, to advance to the East-ern Conference final against the New York Rangers.

“It’s definitely a special team and if we didn’t know it before the playoffs, we definite-ly know it now,” said Pacioretty.

Dale Weise and Daniel

Briere, with a late power-play goal, also scored for Montreal.

Jarome Iginla’s goal, which cut the Canadiens’ lead to 2-1 with 2:08 remaining in the second, set the scene for a dra-matic third period. The black and gold faithful hoped for yet another Bruins comeback.

They almost got their wish early in the third when Iginla, pouncing on a rare Price re-bound, hit the post. Boston came on but the Canadiens held fast and Price, improving his record in elimination games in 2014 to 5-0 including the Olympics, was rock-solid with a disciplined team defending in

front of him.The late Boston surge was

not helped by a Johnny Boy-chuk penalty for interference with 4:31 remaining. Montreal scored on the ensuing power play when Briere’s centring pass bounced in off Zdeno Chara’s skate at 18:07 to pad the lead to 3-1.

Montreal killed off a late interference penalty to Andrei Markov — and a 6-on-4 Boston opportunity — to seal the win.

“Respect, you’ve got to earn it and I think tonight those guys earned it,” said Canadiens coach Michel Therrien.THE CANADIAN PRESS

Lions GM values Glenn’s experience

Wally Buono doesn’t like the term “backup quarterback” when describing one of his newest acquisitions.

The B.C. Lions’ general manager and vice-president of football operations made a splash at Tuesday’s CFL draft, acquiring disgruntled pivot Kevin Glenn from the Ottawa Redblacks for the fifth overall pick.

The move is significant not only when taking into account Glenn’s past success in the CFL, but also because

Lions starting quarterback Travis Lulay is coming off sur-gery to his throwing shoul-der.

“Kevin Glenn is an experi-enced quarterback that’s won wherever he’s been,” Buono said on a conference call Wednesday. “He’s a guy that I think brings instant credibil-ity (and) adds strength to (the position).

“You can’t win without great quarterbacking.”

Glenn, who spent the last two seasons with the Calgary Stampeders, was selected by Ottawa in the expansion draft to stock the league’s ninth franchise, but became available after the Redblacks signed Henry Burris to a three-year contract following his release by the Hamilton

Tiger-Cats.“I believe it will be a very,

very good marriage. Kevin wants to be in a place where he believes he’ll be utilized,” said Buono. “We hope Travis goes all 18 games, but if he doesn’t we feel we have a guy that can step in and help us win football games.”

Lulay missed six games at the end of the 2013 season after damaging his labrum in September, but returned to play in the Lions’ West Div-ision semifinal loss to the Sas-katchewan Roughriders.

“To be able to acquire a quarterback of (Glenn’s) cali-bre who comes in here and makes us that much better in-stantly was a tremendous op-portunity for us,” Buono said.The cAnAdiAn Press

Horoscopes

Aries March 21 - April 20 People respond better to charm than to threats, so use the power of Venus in your sign to work your way around their defenses. You need to know when to exert pressure and when to stand back.

Taurus April 21 - May 21 There may be a clash of wills today but at least it will clear the air and remind certain people that just because you’re a nice guy does not mean you are a pushover. This is your time of year and much is still possible.

Gemini May 22 - June 21 You won’t be short of friends today, tomorrow and over the weekend as Mercury, your ruler, links with Venus, planet of harmony. What you do with others will be more enjoyable than what you do by yourself.

Cancer June 22 - July 23 It’s OK to be forceful but sometimes you push too hard and turn people off. That should not be a problem today though as you find new ways to get along with work colleagues and people in positions of power. It’s all about charm.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 No matter how many things may have gone wrong in your life in recent weeks your luck will change for the better today. Actually luck has little to do with it. It’s your attitude that creates your world. Start smiling and winning again.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Make it a priority to kiss and make up with someone you fell out with a while back. Most likely you are genuinely sorry you got angry about something that, with hindsight, looks absurdly trivial.

Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Let the people you feel closest to know how much you need them and appreciate them and love them. It’s not true that Librans lack emotion and anyone who thinks that will have no choice but to think again over the next 24 hours.

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 You could fall out with a work colleague or someone in authority today. It’s OK to fight your corner, of course, but be sure in your mind that you are right and they are wrong. If there’s any doubt it might be wise to back off.

Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You seem more relaxed about life and affairs of the heart. You also seem a lot less concerned with what others think about what you are doing. If it feels right to you, carry on.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 All sorts of opportunities are opening up for you now but they will be a lot more fun if you invite family and friends to join you on your journey. Make sure what you do for yourself you do also for the people care for.

Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Someone new will come into your life today. Is it a true love match or is it just a passing fancy? You may not know for sure until later in the year but if it’s making you smile now it can’t be all bad. Enjoy!

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 Business affairs will go better today if you turn on the charm and let would-be partners know you are happy to work with them. There’s more than enough profit to go around, so don’t be greedy. SALLY BROMPTON
